contains most common sizes used for small rod, arrived on time and will do the job. More than I'd expected for the price.

For infrequent use, poor quality, to be used in "a pinch" to get a job done. Dies require substantial force to get started on the material to be threaded, making it difficult to maintain proper alignment. All of the pieces of the kit are essentially "seconds", but are functional with care. A HSS (High Speed Steel) set like this would be at least 10 times the price, but for the home hobbyist the kit serves my needs. Useful but you would be better off buying an individual higher quality tap and die for each size that you will need, for regular use.

You get what you pay for. The dies are very thin and the taps have almost no taper to start the thread. Lots of burrs around the edges of the threads on the dies. But I did successfully test them by chasing threads I intentionally damaged on a a couple of test nuts/bolts and they cut OK. For occasionally chasing a damaged thread or maybe cutting a "low quality" new thread when you're in a bind, they should suffice. But the quality is way too low for any sort of regular use - you'd have to spend more to get that kind of quality. Considering the super-cheap price, I still rate these as a good value but only for limited use.

Could not possibly be more useless. The taps are very poor quality. The smaller dies are completely unusable. They are cut off-center and will not hold the stock you are trying to thread or even a screw you are trying to clean up the threads. I honestly don't believe you will find a poorer quality set available anywhere. Simply horrible! My suggestion: Don't let it cross your mind to purchase this! I just received the Neiko 00908A SAE and Metric Tap and Hexagon Die Set, Alloy Steel | 76-Piece Set. It is night and day difference in quality and highly recommended!!!

Item is of poor quality used it once to make a bevel jig and the tap is already rounded beyond use. I double checked my chart to make sure I used the right size drill bit and it still rounded off. I do not recommend this item. Save the headache and spend the extra on a real set.
